Area Should. Welcome Tar Study

IBJ WsHtigtfi Dude Ranch

When it is announced that the Army Engineer will begin a study of a river basin to examine the need for water resources for the next hundred yeara . . * it may sound like a pretty far-fetched project

But arets long the Tar River Basin, the_third largest river basin in the state, should welcome the study which has been approved and for which funds have now been provided. Citizens now living in the river basin may hot be here to worry about the water resources needs a hundred years from now, but hopefully others will be living here when that time comes. By then they may number many times the present population in the 'area through which the Tar River flows.

Unless the studies are made, it will be virtually impossible to formulate any kind of long-range program to assure that the water resources needs of the area will be met in future years; ^ zi : *

Eastern area, where generations have been accustomed to ample water ^sources, it is difficult to conceive that critical water shortages exist today in many areas w^bich foncethought they" also had sufficient water resources to last indefinitely. We take for granted that our system of rivers tnd our imdergroimd-water reservoirs contain an inexhaus-table supply of water regardle.ss of what kind of future development takes place.

Perhaps that'conclusion is correct. But is is a fact that many other areas which made the same assumption have learned the hard way that their water resourses could be severely taxed by development. ,

The study of the Tar River basin is a long-range p^)grtm that will not bring any immediate or perc^'hable changes in the area. It will take several years\ to make the study tnd then additional years to analyze the data gathered and formulate ^conclu.sions. From there it will take more years to <b*sign a program that wilt "meet heeds that aW Indicated from the .study of* data collected in the survey.

To many people who now live in the Tar River basin, the study may seem relatively unimportant. In future years, however, it could become one of the mo.st significant steps ever taken in long-range planning for this region.

EHLE ~ Choosing <rf a site In WlnatonSaJem for the states new school for Uie performing arts was something of a valcdlctwT for John Ehle.

Ehle is leaving his unusual

peat as n>ecial assistant to Gov. Terry Sanford on special educational and cultural projects. He stood quietly, almost unnoticed, to one side and smoked a cigar when a blue ribbon panel of artists, writers and actors gathered with the governor for official announcement of the aelectlon of Winston-Salem.

His name was not mentioned nor did Ehle pose for pictures with the group. But it was a panel Ehle had picked to make the choice for location of the school and advise on Ita operation after he Is gone and after Sanford'leaves office.

It was a final item of unfinished business on a list of Ehle - engineered pro j e c t s which may mark the Sanford administration with distinction for lifting the cultural and educational status of North Carolina.

PROJECTS After the ceremonies, Ehle wall|'d back to his cubicle office off the Senate chamber on the se c o n d floor of the Capitol, still puffing blue smoke of the cigar.

He was a man pleased and satisfied. In a few m ox^ w?ekST~Tir''W1j leavln g Raleigh and North Carolina, winding up a relatively brief a.ssignment of only eighteen months In the governor's office.

During this time, the 38-year old Ehle has helped develop and direct the e.stabllsh-Ing of such projects as the Governors School, the Institute of Outdoor Drama, the North Carolina Film Board, the North Carolina Advancement School, the Learning Institute of North Carolina and the yet-to-be named school for performing arts.

Ehk* gave birth to the Idea for several of these projects. And several of them. Including the arts school, ai-e finrts for North Carol 1 n a among the states.

ARTS The Ails School,

* now assured of becoming a reality by the Pall of 1965, was one of the first of the projects on Ehles list when he joined the Sanford staff in late 1%2.

There was the problem of persuading the legislature that the Idea had merit and de-*rvd support. This Involved a dliftcult ajiea of politic*, and Ehle remained in the background while Sanfords political pros carried the ball for the toe dancing bill In the General Assembly.

It pa.ssed finally, amid Joking and hilarity but proplled by a magnificent .speech by veteran Rep. John Kerr, a for

mer spaker of the House from rural Warren County. It.^ passage was helped too by stipulation that the selected community should funiLsh a .suitable campus and that it would be financed primarily with funds from private foundations. A limited ^amount of state funds is involved.

Formulating final plan.s,.including selecticm of a site, required another year. Foundation funds for operating the school are not yet In hand, but are promised, San ford said.

SELECTION - The selection committee was the out-of-state Advisory Board, a.s-slsted by Ehle and the gov-emor.! office. It consider e d pre.sentatiwis from Wlnst p n-Salem, Greensboro. HUlsboro, Durham and Raleigh and re-' que.sts from Charlotte and Wilmington,

Choice of Winston-Salem and the campus site at the 1,000-pupll Gray Hteh School with auditorium, gymnasiums, 3.5 classrooms, caifeterla and other facilities along with a pledge of up to $1 million for dormitories was unamimous.

To the cities which bid unsuccessfully for the sch o o 1, Sanford expressed appreciation and regret that we have only one school. He said he could understand they would be "somewhat disappointed. Rut, a spnkfmr fo** "d.~

vlsory board, actor Sidney Blackmer, pointed out "it is still their school. The students. he said, wUl perform in their cities, and across the state. He described It as a school for the entire state, the entire South and. in fact, the entire country.

ABC Thief of the state Alcoholic Beverage Con t r o 1 board has denied report.s that the board added an unusually large number of new brand.*? to ABC store shelves In t s April 1 listing.

The official, Victor Aldridge, says a number of brands of liquors, wines and cordials were added but that "It was about the same number added last October. The ABC board publishes new listing.s of approved brand.*? on April 1 and Oct. 1 of each year.

What brands are listed for legal sale depends prlmari 1 y on public demand and sales, Aldridge said. Brands for which there Is little demand and which show relatively few sales are removed from the lists at the same time additions are made. A year ago, Aldridge said, there were almost no additions.

There were reports that the ABC board approved an unusually large nvimber of additions. wdth a net gain of approximately 30 brands on April 1. Aldridge said he did not have the exact number of additions but said it was not an unusually lai-ge number.

EC Joining Southern Asset To Conference

Admission of East Carolina College into the Southern Conference is another milestone for the college, and through it may sound 'presumptions, we feel it i.s just as significant a milestone for the Conference.

Being a member of the Southern Conference will add to the growing and much deserved prestige of East Carolina College. It will give new .status to the fine athletic program that has grown at East Carolina as the other phases of the colleges Gverall program have grown. If the strides that have been taken in developing the athletic program at ECC are any indication of what to expect in the future, there can be no doubt that East Carolint will more, than hold its own in competition in the conference.

On the other side of the coin, the Southern Conference has much to gain by its admission of ECC as its tenth member. From the standpoint of enrollment, F^ast Carolina will be one of the larger colleges in the conference. From the standpoint of potential for future growth, East Carolina with the momentum it already has may be expected to the standpoint of the conference and Its members of the^conferenee. The college is rapidly proving its ability to attract crowds to athletic events, and from the standpoint of the conference tiub its members this too is an important factor. _

There was a time when debutante parties used to be covered by society editors, but now they have to be covered by police reporters. Following the famous Wanamaker party on Long Island last summer, eight young bluebloods were just found guilty of wrecking a cottage in Towson, Maryland, a suburb of Baltimore. The party after the Maryland Hunt Ball caused $1,800 in damage as compared to the $6.000 damage In Southampton.. which proves that the Long I.sland set still gives the Jbettef--iratti5s:

is how a debutante party story will read on the society page: Miss Mary Jane Merrywea-ther made her debut at t h e Piping Hot Country Club last night with 1.200 guests in attendance. Following a supper dance given l>y her parents, the party moved over to the rented home of Mr. Chauncey Hog-glesworth, where the young socialites enjoyed themselves until dawn.

When De Gaulle recognized Red China, the speculation around the UN in New York was that it was only a question of time before enough nations would fall in line to brefldc down the sentiment that has kept the Red Chinese from being seated in the world organization, But now the specu-Is swinging tho other

way.

At least thats how Hsueh Yu-chl. Ambassador of tho Formosa Chinese to the UN, now sees It. He haw^en^d to be in Formosa when De GauHo decided on his Imperloui course. The gloom in Taipei, Chiang Kai-sheks capital, was so thick at the time that yott could almost hear the clock ticking away the life of tho Formosa Chinese as memberf of the UN Security Council. But all of a sudden the gloom has lifted.________

The reason Is that the African states, which make up such a big bloc of UN votes, have not gone for the blandishments of the Red Chinese. Of the former FYench possessions in Africa, only the Brazzaville Congolese are ready to follow De Gaulles line on Red China at the UN.

What has particularly " riled some of the African nations are the reports that the FVench would welcMTie increased trade with South Africa. De Gaulles opposition to boycotting Red "China and Cuba Is one" thing

but when, In the name of consistency (or profits), the French do not go along with the idea of boycotting South Africa, the African states cannot endorse the projection of the De Gaulle policy into an area which affects their hopes.

The change In the atmosphere at the UN is a reminder that the projection of trend Is a generally profitless business. Ctaly yesterday the over-turn In Zanzibar nation has cea.sed to exist as an entity. It Is now combined with mainland Tanganyika, with the moderate head of Tanganyika, Dr.

WASHINGTON 'AP) The Johnson administration, as the Kennedy administration w a s. has been baffled about how to get Fidel Castros communism out of Cuba. There has been no visible progress, Castro is still there, still boss.

Now a special group of Republicans headed by Dr, Milton S. Elsenhower, brother of former President Dwight D, Eisenhower in whose time Castro came to power has proposed solutions.

But they have their own built-in bafflement. They raise about as many questions as answers. And on some key quest ions they dont even attempt answ-ers,

jZijba. no 4lr^ -threar to this country. Is an embarra.ssment as a Communist foothold on this side of the Atlantic. And it is a menace to the rest of the hemisphere as an agitation point and training ground for Latin-American Reds.

Pre.sident Kennedy.s attempt to scuttle Ca.stro - backing a Cuban-exile invasion but without direct American involvement wa.s a disaster. He was iTady lo sue direct action only w hen Qiba did bt'come a direct Ihieat,

That was when Soviet Premier Khriishchev put hi** mi.s-.sile.s there. Kennedy backed him down Rut Khrushchev's ,4kS..i!(tk.Caii:oj*<;ni^ied. Any direct military action agaTnsT" Castro now' might mean war with Ru.ssia.

iZven if Rti.ssia didnt Intervene, a direct attack by the American giant on the Cuban midget - while talking peaceful solutions elsewhere wouldnt make the United States look good anywhere

So Johnson s main hope ~ as Kennedys was has been an economic l>oycott to shut off all trade with Castro. But the Allies trade with him. noting this country wants to twycott trade with communism in Oiba while selling w heat to communism in Rn.ssia.

The Republican group called the Republiean Citizens Committees Critical Issu e s Council came up with this:

"It mu.st be clearly under-.stood by the world the United State.s is prepared, as a last re.sort, to use military force to remove Internationa! communism from Cuba, .tu.st as it has long been prepaed to use military force in Korea. Berlin. Leha;ion. the Formos"a Straits, and el.seW'here '

Thesf were poor examples The United Statf"' was never prepared 4o u.sp military force in tho.se place.s except to stop attacks, invasions or takeover.s.

And Cuba Isn't threatening to invade or take over anybody.

Then is the. Republican council proposing to go beyond defense and into a direct attack on Cuba, in which case it would be an aggressor? No. It said: We are not advocating hasty and impropt'r military action against Cuba.

One of the constructive proposals to come from a gubernatorial candidate has to do with political campaigns and their length, as governed by law. Republican Robert Gavin ,*?aid that if he was elected governor he would recommend legislation to cut the cost and the length of gubernatorial campaigns in North Carolina.

That is a sensible suggestion. The campaign for goveraor in this state can be a grueling thing, particularly wmen one considers that a candidate, if he is a Democrat, must also face the possibility of two primaries as well as the general election in November.

What would improper military action be, an inva.sion? The council' doesnt say. It hopefully suggests that just letting it be known the United States is wling to use force is probably the greatest assurance that it wont be needed So another question is raised but not answered:

If Castro doesnt attack Anyone and the United States isnt willing to attack him first, how is the American military force going to mean anything?

The council has othrt sugges-lons:

1. Invoke sanctions again.*?t allien who vsell anything to Castro. But this might hurt American alliances. Therefore, an-7)Uicr question: Which is more important to the United Statc.s, getting rid of Castro or keeping alliances?

2. The John.son administration prevents Cuban exiles from using American bases for raids on Cuba. The council seems to suggest this Is a 11 right but that the exiles should be encoiiraged to use other "^fiinif ii'r' mspsr

Take the case of Terry Sanford in 1960. In that race. Sanford had to run three time.s in order to become governor. The people had to go to the polls three times rather ridiculous. Not to mention costly.

Specifically, Gavin said he would ask the General Assembly to set the primai-y date, closer to fp general election. The primary is now held the last Saturday in May. July or some date thereabout would be a better date. The voters do not need five months of endless, repetitive political propaganda to enable them to make up their minds. The majority make up their minds even before the primary campaign are half over.

One of the main problems facing any candidate for gov-enior Is the high co.st of waging a campaign. This is a bad situation, and the longer the campaign the more expensive.

This means some potentially good candidates could be discouraging from entering the race because of the prohibitive costs.

Unless a candidate is rich he has to take money from lobbyists and pressure groups and he will become so committed to those special interests that he wont be able to serve the people. Not only that, but a long, exhausting campaign can be physically and mentally wearing on the candidates. This is evidenced by the fact that occasionally some candidate in the campaigns ap-_ pear confused or dont know what theyre talking about. But perhaps that is only an impression. It could be that the voters dont-know what the candidates are talking about.

Gavin explains that his late start as a candidate would allow him to sidestep the sort of the commitments his opponents had been unable to avoid. Consider w'hat a candidate faces: depending upon hpw jsarlY he wants to start running, he could campaign from January to the end of May thats five months. Then he faces the possibility of a second p r i-mary which would be held shortly thereafter more campaigning in between. After that, if he wins, he begms can.-paigning for the general election in November. That means he has been actively engaged In campaigning and politicking for 11 months out of the year.

Little wonder Gavin wants the law changed. There should be .some revision in the pre-.sent .setup, for humane reasons if for nothing else.

A.S the party went on. It became more exciting. A touch football game w'as started in the dining room and in place of a football the players used Mr. Hogglesw'orths Wedgwood plates. Every time someo n e missed a pass the spectators cheered. The game lasted until there w'ere no plates left.

"While many couples were enjoying themselves on the ground floor, a group of merry-makers went upstairs and started throwing furniture out of window. Shouts of glee could be heard from the upper floors as the furniture crashed to the ground.

Then someone remembered tharif was time for breakfast, so a fire was buUt in the library and several of the party-goers fried ham and eggs over it. w^hlch the famished guests ate with delight.

sident of both countries. What^ ever may be the ultimate orientation of Tangan3lka-Zanzl-bar, this reduces the total vote of the African nations In the UN by one. Thus, in any event, the pro-Red Chinese vote must shrink by one.

Another thing that encourages the Formosa Chinese at the UN is the relative silence of former U. S. proponents of a "two-Chlna policy. The U. S. Ambassador to the UN. proponents of a "two-Chlna policy." The U. S. Ambaasador to the UN. Adlal Stevenson, who is considered to be "flexible' on the subject, has been keeping his own counsel.

The Lyndon Johnson Administration Is obviously quite willing to let sleeping dogs li until after the election in November. Meanwhile Robcr Hils-man, who had hinted at a possible future accommodation with Red China, has gone from the State Department. And Ted Sorensen, who is reputed to have persuaded John P. Kennedy at one point that It might be the mark of strategical wisdom to pressure the Promo-sa Chinese to relinquish the offshore Islands of Quern o y and Matsu, Is no longer in the White House.

The Formosa Chinese have a reprieve on this matter of UN representation that will last for virtually all of 1964. Anything can happen in eight months, time. Even if Lyndwi Johnson were disposed to pick up the Roger Hilsman line after a victory in November, a number of things could prevent It. Red Chinese machinations in Chile and other South American countries, for Instance, could make It extremely unpopular in the U. S. to consider any possible dealing with Peiping. And If De Gaulles feelings about trade with South Africa remain what they are, the former French possessions In Africa could remain quite adamant In their refusal to let Paris set foreign policy for them.

It now seems certain that defense spending will be gradually reduced over the n e_ x t few years, his makes it imperative for ali businesses dependent on defense spending to plan ahead. This applies to the hot dog stand across from the defenise plants gates, to the instalment collector in furniture store In town, a.s well as lo the executives in the plant Itself.

There are two things that w ill ameliorate the econom i c consequences of a cut in de-' fense spending. One has already been put into effect: the Income tax cut. The other is in making: an Increase in Federal spending for poverty pockets and for other welfare measures.

FAR APART

But there is a long way 'be-tween a cut hi defense spending and the effects of these factors.

The fact that consum e r s now have armind $11 billion 'more a year to .spend or save will not have an immediate ef-' ect on the man who has ju-'t imdoff at -an airplane "FianFTAnd the coustarjjucan of

a"mew^nTospill s5Rieivnt'rp In* Appalachia will mean little to a defense plant in California that has just completed its last government contract.

Business and workers must find ways of shortening the distance between the cut and the countervailing factors.

Thats one of the tough parts of Jthe free enterprise system? Ih Russia, where defense spending is also being cut back, workers iu defen.se plants or broiler evStablish-ments. Executives will be moved from airplane factories to boatyards.

But under the free enterprise system, we have to do it ourselves. Men dropped from defense jobs will have to find jobs elsewhere, with aid, but itot direction, from employment agencies. Companies losing defense contracts must find new work in civilian areas, not wait for some commissar in Wa.shington to decide on n e w products for it to make. WHERE, (iOVER.NMENT . WILL SPEM

The urban renewal program will probably be stepped up; this can run into biUions of doUys a year. This will be a dirert benefit to those disemployed by defense cuts. Their skills, with perhaps a little training, will be highly useful In the construction and related trades.

Expansion of educational help, and of sewere and water s^tems, will also create new jobs and new opportunities for contractors.

As Lynn A. Townsend, Chrysler president, told the American Newspaper Publish e r s Association Bureau of Advertising:
